SOMEONE CALL 911! THE POLICE- EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE (REACTION) 

Sting, himself, said that this was the ultimate stalker song!!

A lot of people took it as love song but it’s actually very dark and sinister.

Growing up in the 80's, you notice different generations who listen to songs that borrow from each other...the millennials listen to Every Breath You Take, they hear P-Diddy's sample, but when I first heard P-Diddy's song, I thought of The Police.

It’s a stand up bass aka double bass. Finger picking instead of using a bow is the innovation of Jazz players back in the early 1900’s. The Police are one of my all-time favorite bands. So many great songs, both hits and deep cuts.

In May 2019, "Every Breath You Take" was recognized by BMI as being the most played song in radio history. - wikipedia

The only hit song about stalking someone. Creepy

The lead singer Sting realized how creepy this song was and that fans were playing this at their weddings, and made a song later in his career with the lyrics "If you love someone, set them free"

Half! You noticed something most people don't get. This is not a love song it is an obsession/stalker/psychotic song.

Don't Stand So Close To Me . . . Was the first song I remember hearing from them.

The Police was one of the best bands of the eighties….legendary! Sting, the lead singer also had a very successful solo career! They did say this song is not a love song but rather about someone obsessed! Stalker type behavior! Sting is playing a Bass, I believe, not to be confused with a Cello because they are different instruments! Great song… classic!❤️❤️

Number one hit and number one song of 1984 beating of number of greats of that time

Puffy and Sting( dude singing) did this together at the Grammys as a tribute to Biggie. The instrument is a cello. Love you two! 🎶💓 Love your sense of humor Half. 😂🤣

Sting plays an acoustic bass called "Double Bass" - that's not a Cello, a cello is smaller and is played with a bow. The double bass strings are plucked in Rock/Pop/Jazz.

'Flip it on it's side and CHELLO!!! you gotta bass' 😂

I remember Sting saying he was surprised at the reaction to this song at the time. Everyone was saying it was so romantic, etc.. and he was like, it's more like a stalker/predator type story, lol.

I like how Puff Daddy used it for Biggie- Missing You. There is actually a live version with both performing. Thank you guys, welcome back

This song was so popular when it came out - MTV played it constantly and the soap operas were using this as a theme for story lines

The Police in the 80s....a song about stalking and a song about inappropriate relationship between a teacher and a student...and we loved it! Times have changed.

My ex was a bondsman and had this song on to hear when people called.....lmao

My two beautiful people glad to hear Moms doing well from surgery 🙏🏻 . One of my fav songs by Police, He’s singing about being a stalker band is legendary, keep your humour and smiles going . God Bless 👍🔥💋❤️

People were using this song for their weddings, not realizing what the words really meant... Stalker vibes for real.

Record facts: --Despite Sting saying "Every Breath You Take" is about a stalker, people still use it as a WEDDING DANCE SONG! (WTF, IKR...?) --The 45rpm of "Every Breath You Take" had a CD-only track on its b-side called "Murder By Numbers". Unless it's on a deluxe reissue of the "Synchronicity" album, that's its only time on vinyl. --By surprise during Frank Zappa's final tour, Sting sang a jazz version of "Murder By Numbers" with Zappa's band. It was included as a CD-only track on Zappa's 1989 album "Broadway The Hard Way". Just like "Synchronicity", the vinyl version didn't have room for the song on it.

People actually used this song at WEDDINGS. They didn't have a clue...

Do you mean the stand up bass (just a stand up bass guitar) that Sting is playing? This song = the ultimate stalker song

Great song and reaction. When I go to bed tonight I’m gonna bust out laughing because I’ll be thinking Half and Jai are in my closet or under my bed.

I’m glad the Half and Jai family is showing them love!! Also, I’m into “no names” - gifts for you all! ❤️❤️🎶🎶

I think the instrument is called a Bass (base). Sting had a concert in my area pre-Covid a few years ago and it got canceled due to low ticket sales. Lol

Heard Sting say in an interview that it is a song about a stalker and he was surprised people would play it at their weddings.

Glad all is well with your mom I swear when you were talking about it I seen an orb come down from above your hat and go down and disappear this is not the first time I've seen orbs in your videos your being watched over 😇🙏♥️♥️

You two have some of the best reaction videos. Your woman has one of the most beautiful smiles and it just sends great vibes about making the world a better place in a time where we need to know that all hope is not lost and you brother are just so much enjoyment to watch because we never know what you are going to do but it's positive energy that is just amazing. Never stop loving each and always remember even when the bad times come you've got each other and God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ loves you for bringing joy to us.

I saw these guys in concert in 1981 when they were just young pups. Great show. Nice choice you two! Keep up the positivity and the good vibes y'all. Peace

Most people don't make the connection that the Police are essentially a reggae band

"Every Breath You Take" is a song by the English rock band the Police from their album Synchronicity (1983). Written by Sting, the single was the biggest US--Released: 20 May 1983. I love both Sting and Puff 's version of Sting's song. 😘

You guys are awesome. Love the chemistry you have. Can't wait for more! Good Vibes✌💙

Written by Sting. Produced by The Police + Hugh Padghem. 1983. Sting: lead vocal, bass, synthesizers. Andy Summers: guitar, piano. Stewart Copeland: drums. The Police: backing vocals. Godley + Creme: direction of the video. Andy graduated from CSU Northridge in 1972. Stewart is the only American. 🇺🇲 Sting + Andy are British. 🇬🇧 The Police were in The Bahamas. Sting + Stewart Copeland were constantly arguing + laying temper tantrums. The infighting was so bad that Andy Summers left the house to look for help. Luckily, the late George Martin, producer of The Beatles, was nearby. Andy talked to George. His advice was relayed to Andy. Then, Andy returned. Sting + Stew stopped their bickering for the meantime. Meanwhile, Spandau Ballet was working on their album True on another side of the island! 😃 SB was on the rise! 🤯 1 year later, Sting met Spandau Ballet at the Band Aid recording session, London, UK. 🇬🇧 Yet, The Police was slowly breaking up. 😖😖😖 Sting + Stew could not even agree on how to play Every Breath You Take. 😖 This was a song on the final full studio album. Information c/o Andy Summers: I was at his book signing! 😃 Do not think of EBYT as only a stalker song: think of it as a break up of The Police + wishing the band was like it was on their 1st album. Sample. Puff Daddy sampled this. He made his rap into a tribute of Biggie Smalls. Guest singer is Faith Evans, widow of Biggie. RIP Biggie, Sir George Martin. Suggested next Police video: Synchronicity 2. 🎸🥁👨‍🎤🎸🎹 🇬🇧🇺🇲

Good Vibes Half and Jai thanks for cheering up my Tuesday here in 🇮🇪🙏💕

Yooooo, when you said, “when you taking a shit, I’ll be watching you” I lost it! Hahahaha Another great reaction guys lol

Yes later on Diddy sample it for Missing you making it the number one to making it the number one sample of all time for BIG

I'll be missing you makes me cry all the time. I just found that Puff 💿 today at a thrift store. Great reaction guys love this song!

Keith Richards tells a funny story where the Rolling Stones were back stage in Madison Square Garden, partaking some illegal drugs, when one of the security guards the police are coming, he ran to flush down his substance thinking he was about to be arrested, but was this band.

Hey Half and Jai, Still sending Prayers for full great recovery. Hope things are going well in your own place, Congrats again...Just an Amazing song and group. This song and Roxanne are my favs...but they have many amazing songs. Thanks guys, Peace

Wow! Awesome... Back in the 80's Great Times. Awesome Memories. Thanks so much Y'all 💗✨👆🏻

So glad to hear your mother's doing well. 🙏 💐

Sting wrote this song while going through the separation and divorce of his first wife. He was having an affair with his wife's best friend whom he later married and they still are today. It was a big tabloid event in England.

Dude I love this dude's , the Beastie Boys Reactions got me hooked ...wished I could rediscovered the jams like they do .

The instrument is a double bass. He normally plays bass guitar though.

You're definitely my age if you say "puff daddy". However, I grew up on this and am an old soul so, no shade, I was scared you'd mention that lol. Side note: yall make me sooooo happy!! I live the positivity!!

This song creeped me out!!!! I was terrified of it 😂😂😂😂

Half and jai love you guy's one of my favourite Reaction Channel and loved your Reaction to the police every breath you take Wonderful Song you guy's Reaction was sweet 😊😊

The girls loved Sting. Y'all crack me up. Keep'em coming. Prayers for you mom hope she is recovering well and fast

How you not k owing who Sting is?? Hear.. "Roxanne". Even when this was new, and, very popular, all I could think hearing it is, Man this dude is a crazy, obsessed, stalker.

We love watching you guys.

This is NOT a love song! This is a song about obsession and surveillance.

You guys are doing some really nice music choices babes!

Glad to hear momma is doing better. You know this song is about a stalker. Your girl has the best laugh. She doesn't hold back. 😊

This was so hilarious yall are great

That instrument is a stand up bass they use too be in every big band back in the 20's and still today. People had to play stand up until fender made the first side bass you could carry with a guitar strap.

Love watching you guys...lots of ❤ FROM 🇨🇦

Great reaction. Y’all make me laugh. Love your channel you’re a lot of fun.😀👍❤️😀🌼

Another 80's Classic!! 👍👍💯💯💯💯

This song has "protective order" written all over it.

Sting made this song about a stalker that he had.... but for some reason everyone of us in the 80’s thought it was a love song ? I don’t know... we must’ve not been listening to the words...

I love this song.....thank you!

The instrument is a stand up bass, sting is a great bass player

Y'all can maybe understand that. When my girlfriend left me after 6 year's of committed relationship i used to listen to this song alot on repeat like in a day more than 20 times for couple of months my girlfriend broke up last year on October i hope she will learn i was the one for her she didn't had to did that what she did🙏❤️ all peace and love

U guys r awesome I love u guys im a new subscriber I love y'alls energy

Puffy didn't ask to sample to the music to his song for Big. Therefore, The Police gets $2 K a day PLUS all royalties from that song! JUST A FYI:

It's an upright bass Got my "Good Vibes" t-shirt on in the garage watching you.... I'm watching you...👀

This is the first time I noticed the intensity/anger as he played the cello at the end. It is kind of creepy, especially with stalkers being what and how they are. If you were being stalked, you certainly wouldn't want someone sending you this song.😟😟😟

Many blessings for your mother.

Creepy ass song, she rolls her eyes like my missis, "Don't stand so close to me" even creepier, great reaction guys, cello.

💕 prayers for your Mom

I love you guys the two of you need to go into stand up comedy you always have me laughing when I watch your videos

I grew up to them as my parents listened to them. They have some great songs out there though you should do more.

1:12 into it. Half has an orb of light by him right after he said something about his mother.

Hi from Germany guys. Love you ❤️❤️❤️

So crazy to see peoples reaction to this almost half a century after it was released.

Okay guys, this is going to be a bit long-winded, but I'll try and be as brief as possible. First, I love your stuff! You have GREAT energy and you always bring a huge smile to my face. Second, the song IS about stalking, so you both NAILED it. I always thought is was a love song until about 10 years ago. Ha! And third....never start a sentence with the word "and". No wait, that wasn't it...sorry. THIRD, (and this is the part where your going to think I'm bat sh** crazy) this is the second time while watching one of your reactions that orbs (little balls of light) have been flying around the room with you. In this video, check at the 1:10 mark. It happened at least two more times in this one, but I didn't get the times. The other video was Disturbed, "The Sound of Silence". Check at the 3:34 and 4:07 marks. Anyway, just thought I'd let ya know. Weird, but true. (No, I don't smoke, but maybe I should start). Be well and thanks for all the good vibes!

My friends and I used to call this the "stalker" song!💯😂🤣❤️✌️

One of the best songs EVER

The Instrument is a stand up bass

This song is in my all time top ten . It just takes me instantly back to being 15 & having Stings poster on my wall. He was wearing a v v expensive suit & looked like a male model....happy sigh....

I always called this song "Ode to a Stalker." ;)

The greatest stalker song ever. Lol

Blunt, preaching to the converted lol

No views ,6 likes.😅😅You guys are so loved hit the like before watching.❤Can't blame them. 🥰

🙏🏻 for your Mom.

Yup, better watch out💙💙

The Police came to play in our town, I think their second album and I had never heard of them. some friends where talking about going to see the police and im thinking oh shit who did what and why are you getting questioned.

It’s a song from a stalker’s point of view. Most people didn’t get it and thought it was a love song. Several people played out at their weddings...... they had no clue!

The stalker song! 🤣

40 years later this remains the most played song in the history of America with airplay far exceeding anything written by the likes of Puffy, Jay Z or Kanye West

It's a stand-up bass that Sting is playing.

driven to tears

That is the bass! My father in law played it all the time! Even in the nutty professor! Not Eddie Murphy version.

Classic. Great choice

Love your reviews! The instrument is a Bass.

You should listen to one of the Fore Fathers of Punk Rock music!!! They’re the first Black Punk Rock band called “Death” from Detroit Michigan in 1971. They went into obscurity and Punkers forgot about them!!! My favorite are Politicians in my eye, Keep on Knocking, or Freakin out?!? There’s plenty more though....

It's a Cello and I love this original and like what Puffy did with it.

Bassoon? Also, is stalking legal if The Police do it?
